This looks super cool, and I appreciate you sharing -- I'm a big fan of vi(m), mostly because it's installed on lots of systems and doesn't require pulling down a config file from the 'net when you're on a new box or whatever.
(No offense to "emacs people" but some of us like to keep it offline.)
However, I hope you told the shop you're going to be doing this OP.
I got pretty depressed due to COVID, so I ordered a lot more take out that I used to.
One of my... contacts... informed me many of what I'll call "meal aggregators" take up to 25% of the cost of an order. They also implied these services allow folks to put in so many orders, in parallel, that they overwhelm a place. Apparently once you are signed up for some of them, it's next to impossible to opt out.
So while I'll definitely bookmark this, I hope folks also consider using a telephone to order food -- it can be interesting seeing who can fall back to 90s era social norms and who goes completely insane if you try to talk to them like they're not a computer.
- RamblingCTO 4y agoThat doesn't apply to Dominos etc. I think but more to Delivery Hero, Uber Eats, Doordash etc.
- dontbenebby 4y agoThe place you mentioned isn't an aggregator, but I'd be curious if they have less per transaction costs if you just call the store, ask for a pizza, and give them cash. I've seen places that seem to value it, and a couple that seemed weirdly hostile to the entire idea someone might not want to be a literal slave to the Saudis or whoever keeps propping up services like Uber that are unprofitable and often flout local regulations. (I think)
